More summertime excitement is on the way to the Reid Thompson Library with a pair of special events coming up this week. 

On Thursday, July 11, those who have their eyes on the skies will love the visit by the Starman (aka Ron Waldron) to the library. Two presentations include the 15-minute NASA sponsored planetarium show Max Goes to the Moon for children from Grades 1 to 2. Max the astronaut dog helps mankind return to the moon, this time for good. A special virtual planetarium trip to the moon follows.  

There is no question that over the past several years Thursday afternoons are a Participant favorite here at the agency.
